Swing Trading Strategy: Holy cow what a crazy, freakin’ day! Granted, a 100 point sell-off on SPX is nothing like a 100 point sell-off back in January of 2018 when it was trading 500 points lower. However the impact that it has on the portfolio is still incredible. Most of my long positions over the

Swing Trading Strategy: The days of easy trading are but a distant memory now. This is why for the past month or so, I’ve been trying to add short exposure, gradually to the portfolio, and while it didn’t save me completely, it has certainly helped, but still some losses.

I’m a bit surprised this market isn’t down 30-40 handles on SPX today.  I also can’t remember when a company like Apple (AAPL) has been able to warn on earnings guidance and only take just over a one percent hit in the process. I remember the January 2018 decline when they did something similar and

Swing Trading Strategy: Virgin Galactic (SPCE) continues to steal the show, with another large pre-market gap higher. Still long from 18.98, with more than +60% in profits. I closed out the last half of the Apache (APA) for a manageable loss. Some negative news in the pre-market with Apple (AAPL) lowering guidance for the quarter,

Swing Trading Strategy: Trimmed some positions yesterday, that included +15% in Square (SQ), +7% in Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), +2% in Tesla (TSLA) and +3% in Switch (SWCH).
